Hi there,

 

Is there a way to attach a kml file in a tweet? I know that we can stream a geolocation but would attaching a file possible with FME Desktop?

Haven't tried this myself but I think it should be possible:

  • Upload the file to S3 using the S3Uploader, obtain the url
  • Put the url in the message body of a tweet with the DirectTweeter

I'm not sure whether that will automatically shorten the url, if not you may need to run it through a url-shortening service before putting it in the tweet.

This article should give you some pointers.


You cant attach but as Hans said you can upload it somewhere else and provide a link to it

Thanks Hans, your method is valid though i was searching for a way to have it from within twitter ...
